Bob Dean

Business Owner

2025 Inductee

From a roller coaster-phobic WVU B&E student to a thriving business owner in the global attractions industry, Bob Dean mastered the art of selling thrills instead of riding them. The unpredictable nature of the industry led him to conduct business and engage with fascinating people and places across the globe.

 As it turned out, influencing decisions and securing major deals became his version of a thrill ride. Without question, the sincerity ingrained in being a Mountaineer, combined with a strong business education, set him on a path to success and a uniquely fulfilling life. As a proud husband and father, creating lasting memories with his wife, two amazing children, and now grandchildren remains the most rewarding ride of all.
